Besides regular membership, attendance at the event included ministers, mayors and senior provincial and municipal government officals. The object of attention was a background report on the feasibility of LNG terminals in the Maritimes. In his report, Roland George contends that the supply of natural gas is not an impediment to development of LNG terminals in the region. The economics of the projects are subject to the final delivered cost of the gas. One terminal is a definate possiblity, and a second is feasible. "Is there room for two? Yes, the market will adjust to it. It depends how you bring those on."[1]   2005-04-20 Who: Ernie Stokes, Centre for Spatial Economics Where: 5th Floor Boardroom, ACOA, 1801 Hollis Street Website: www.c4se.com "The construction industry is central to economic growth." says Ernie Stokes, Managing Director Centre for Spacial Economics. "Without construction there is no growth". With this thesis, Ernie took AAAE members through a model that explained the linkage between investment, GDP and population growth.     2005-04-15 What: Bank of Canada Monetary Report Who: David Amirault, Senior Economist, Bank of Canada Where: Bank of Canada, 1583 Hollis St., 5th Floor Halifax, April 15,2005 Today, David Amirault presented the Bank of Canada's latest Monetary Report. In brief, the Bank's outlook is essentially unchanged from the previous report, except that for increased "upside and downside risks" from Asian expansion, prices, and the resolution of current account balances. Of major concern to the audience was the reported lack of labour productivity growth 2003-2004. As David pointed out, labour traditionally contributes about 1.25% out of a 3% growth in GDP. Download April 2005 MPR 2005-03-30 What: Under The Old Town Clock: Times, Travels and Travails of a Civil Servant Who: Charlie Pye Where: Bank of Canada, 1583 Hollis St., 5th Floor Halifax, March 30,2005 Today, Charlie Pye walked an attentive gathering through three decades of applied economics in the Nova Scotia government. He recounted that "Nova Scotia was on the leading edge in the application of input-output models for impact analysis in the 70's". 2005-03-04 What: Bank of Canada price setting survey Who: David Amirault, Senior Economist, Bank of Canada Where: Bank of Canada, 1583 Hollis St., 5th Floor Each month many of us eagerly await publication of the latest consumer price, industrial products price index and other such harbingers of price changes. Upon reading and digesting the latest statistics we in turn muse or speculate on the causes/sources of current changes. Policy initiatives often are forthcoming. David Amirault, Senior Economist at the Bank of Canada, recently authored a paper "A Survey of Price-Setting Behaviour of Canadian Companies" and presented an insightful overview to the Association. The survey found that there is a wide variation in price-setting behaviour among firms. Also, over the past decade there is "evidence of increased price flexibility... owing to intensified competition and greater use of information technologies." [Not to be outdone, David used the latest in technological gismos (ISB jump drive) to deliver his presentation. Slideshow on a keychain.] Policy implications include that inflation may be more responsive to interest rate changes, and that price flexibility may diminish the effect of monetary policy. For further information, see "Bank of Canada Review", Winter 2004-2005.   2005-01-28 What: The C.O.P.S. Outlook for Nova Scotia: 2004-2009 Who: Cory Large, Economist, HRDC Link: Outlook 2002-2007 What: A Profile of Seasonal Employment in Atlantic Canada: Past, Present and Future Who: David Chaundy, Senior Economist, APEC January Double-bill At the January luncheon President David Amirault announced that he will presenting a paper on price stability on February 25 that will coincide with a release from the Bank of Canada. Also, on the "Ides of March" (March 15th) Charlie Pye will be our guest speaker. Et tu Brute? Today, two approaches to labour market analysis were presented to the overflow crowd. Cory Large, Economist, HRDC presented a 5 year employment outlook for Nova Scotia. All things being equal, his report estimates that in the next five years the number of positions to be filled due to attrition and economic growth will be 65,000 or an average of +4.5%. Copies of the presentation are available upon request.   David Chaundry, Senior Economist APEC presented an analysis of seasonal employment in Atlantic Canada. He reported that in the period 1980 to 2004 seasonal employment has been stable while full employment has been increasing. Overall, there has been a trend decline in seasonal employment in the region.   And who says that economists cannot agree. In a poll of the assembled crowd, it was decided by a 90%+ majority that pizza was the preferred bill of fare. Future luncheons will feature this culunary delight. To avoid any disappointment, please let Tara know of your favored toppings.   2004 2004-11-23 What: Energy in Nova Scotia: From Exploration to the Gas Pump Who: Bob Newcomb, Economist, Department of Energy Where: Bank of Canada, 1583 Hollis St., 5th Floor 2004-10-22 What: Bank of Canada Monetary Policy Report Who: David Amirault, Senior Economist, Bank of Canada Where: Bank of Canada, 1583 Hollis St., 5th Floor 2004-10-05 2004 AGM and Luncheon Today, AAAE President David Amirault presented an up-beat report to a well attended AGM.
